A residential or commercial structure that is built in a manner
that promotes energy conservation, uses environmentally friendly
construction products in an efficient way, and creates a healthy
place to live or work. Examples of green building techniques and

and radiant ceilings. Many of these technologies can be used for
new or existing properties. The Leadership in Energy and Environmental
